Polls: Kavanaugh gave GOP an election boost. But it might not last.

In Pennsylvania, that's important; the swing state has several close congressional and state legislative races, and higher turnout among Democrats could put the party closer to retaking majorities in November's midterm elections.

But in two new voter surveys, the advantage appears to have shrunk--and the likely culprit is partisan fervor over Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

A Quinnipiac poll from mid-September showed voters were 14 percent more likely to support a Democratic candidate for Congress.
